Physicists capture elusive instability and exotic vortices

The swirling patterns in Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” can help us visualize quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). The central spiral and surrounding stars and moon resemble the vortices formed…

Direct visualization of quantum zero-point motion in complex molecule reveals eternal dance of atoms

Ultrashort, high-intensity X-ray laser pulses trigger controlled explosions of molecules—making it possible to capture high-resolution images of molecular structures. Credit: Till Jahnke / Goethe University Frankfurt Most of us find…

Scientists achieve direct measurement of quantum metric tensor in black phosphorus

Researchers have successfully measured the quantum metric tensor in solids for the first time. Credit: Keun Su Kim from Yonsei University Quantum distance refers to a measure of quantum mechanical…

Researchers discover universal rules of quantum entanglement across all dimensions
